In celebration of National Rum Month, Kraken Rum collaborated with Black Moon Cosmetics to create The Emperor Kraken Duo, which pairs a bottle of Kraken Gold Spiced Rum and a limited-edition liquid lipstick.
Kraken Gold Spiced Rum launched in March 2023 and the color of the liquid deviated from the inky black that the brand is best known for. Black Moon’s Emperor Kraken Black Metal liquid lipstick follows suit with an equally unusual blackened olive gold shade and limited-edition collaborative packaging. The metallic gold lipstick pays homage to The Beast's treasure, Kraken Gold Spiced Rum, and calls to beauty lovers with fearless style.
Like Kraken, alcohol brands are collaborating with beauty companies to create lipsticks that delight adults with bold colors, and sometimes flavors, inspired by favorite drinks.
